Chapter 178 Chase

With the first person making a proof, the second person and the third person... almost every person was exactly the same. More than 20,000 people were sent out, but only 1,200 people came back. This situation could almost be said to be annihilated.

Mou Yu Khan quietly waited for all the remaining people to come back, and he didn't say a word from beginning to end, but those who were familiar with him had already seen it from his cold face. This time, Khan was really angry.

"Khan, do we still have to move forward?"

Others dare not speak, but Shi Siming dared to have arrived in Hebei Road anyway. If they hadn't had him, they would be in a state of darkness. Moreover, the Uighurs are facing such a dilemma, and Mou Yu Khan must rely on his familiarity with this place.

"Why don't you keep moving forward? Do you think we can't take Fan Yang if we suffer such a small defeat?"

Mou Yu Khan's eyes turned and he looked straight at Shi Siming, as if he was about to eat him.

"This is indeed just a small defeat, but through this small defeat, what I saw was that Li Yi was very prepared for Fan Yang's garrison. His move was called Jianbi Qingye in our Tang Dynasty. Since he had achieved this, we may not find any food from here to Fan Yang!"

This can almost be said to be the bravest time Shi Siming showed in front of Mou Yu Khan. After hearing this, the color on Mou Yu Khan's face darkened significantly, and he was almost on the verge of an upcoming outbreak.

However, in the end, reason calmed him down because he knew that Shi Siming was now a grasshopper tied to him on a rope and did not kick away the stumbling block of Li Yan. Shi Siming himself had no second way to go except being chased by others, so he had no reason to fool himself now.

"Then you say! What should we do?"

Shi Siming took a deep breath when he heard this, and then said, "The place where Li Li was stationed was where An Lushan first started his army, also called Yuyang. The real center of Hebei Road is Youzhou. To my opinion, we will go west here to Youzhou. As far as I know, there are only 20,000 guards in Youzhou. Moreover, even if Li Li is strong and clear, he cannot go from Yuyang to Youzhou. This is our opportunity. It is natural to be able to take Youzhou. Even if he doesn't come down, he can still get enough food and drink. Then he will make a long-term plan. If he blindly goes to Yuyang, he will probably suffer heavy losses in the end! I have said this, as for how to make a decision, Khan should make an idea! My 20,000-Yiluohe River will always be able to live and die with Khan."

Shi Siming's words made Mou Yu Khan fall into deep thought. He understood that what Shi Siming said this time should be quite realistic. If he insisted on his own, it would probably cause great losses to the army behind him, because Li Qing's preparations in this place were too sufficient.

Mou Yu Khan is indeed very proud. It is precisely because of his pride that he brought 200,000 troops all the way from the Uighurs to twenty miles from Yuyang.

But he is not a person who cannot adapt, otherwise the Khan of the Uighurs would not be him, so under such circumstances, he was not stubborn.

"I'll send an order to rest for a night tonight. I'll set off before dawn tomorrow morning, and change the route all the way west to Youzhou!"

Seeing that Mou Yu Khan gave such an order, Shi Siming finally nodded. At least in his opinion, he was one step away from death.

After Li Neng's five troops won, they naturally returned to the city. According to Li Neng's previous thoughts, the rest were basically waiting for the angry Khan Mou Yu to lead the army to rush over to duel with him.

But this time, Li himself miscalculated.

Zhang Xun had been monitoring the Uighur army, but after one night, the scouts returned that the remaining 180,000 enemy troops disappeared, at least they did not come to find Li Yan.

When the news was delivered to Li Qing, both Zhang Xun and Li Qing frowned.

"Go and go to the place where they were stationed yesterday to see the traces. There was no rain and snow last night. It was impossible for 180,000 cavalrymen to leave horse hoof prints and horse manure without leaving horse manure. See where they went!"

Li Qing gave such an order, but the one on his face was no longer relaxed.

Just for such a signal, Li Yan was almost sure that Mou Yu Khan was not as young and energetic as he imagined, but a little smart. This person was really a difficult opponent.

Soon, Zhang Xun hurriedly returned to Li Yan. This time his face turned a little ugly, and he said to Li Yan directly: "Prince, according to the investigation of our scouts, all the enemy troops went west, completely changing the direction of the march!"

Zhang Xun wanted to say something later, but after hearing this, Li Li immediately stood up.

"Sure enough! They changed their course, probably going to Youzhou!"

Obviously, Li Qing had thought that the enemy might have changed course and headed towards Youzhou.

"Ah? Could it be that the Khan of the Uighurs be crazy? Although Xu Yuan only brought 20,000 troops in Youzhou, the city was very strong. Without the siege equipment, it would be impossible for them to conquer Youzhou."

Zhang Xun first refuted Li Wen's statement.

"They are afraid they don't know what kind of guards are in Youzhou. Moreover, their main task now is probably no longer to siege the city, but to find food!"

Zhang Xun was a smart man. After hearing what Li Yan said, he realized at that time and hurriedly said: "They walked less than a hundred miles west, and I'm afraid there will be a village with people!"

Indeed, in such a short few days, although Li Yan had evacuated all the nearby villages as much as possible, it was still impossible for the entire Hebei Road village to be empty.

One thing Mou Yu Khan said was very correct, that is, Li Neng could not let all the people in the village evacuate, so as long as they did not go to the direction of Yuyang, they changed the direction.

He believed that in no time, villages with real villagers would appear.

"Damn it! What a sinister Uighur man, let's get the troops for me! Let's chase me!"

"What? Prince, the enemy army has a total of 180,000. We have only 120,000 cavalrymen in the Pugu tribe, and we have only 120,000 to 130,000, which is a big difference!"
